Base Line
Signal
• Significant reduction of charge distribution can be seen as the background rate increases.
• The reduction of electrical field is caused mainly by both background irradiation and electron beams.
• Rate capability of the counter is higher than 15kHz/cm².

6.Conclusions
• Performance of MRPC is measured. The time resolution can reach 70-80ps and the efficiency is higher than 95%. The flux is up to 16kHz/cm².
• The MRPC module is placed within 10m to the Target for 2 months, without significant performance deterioration. This means that the module can withstand long time irradiation.
• The Irradiation is uniformed. During Test, the current is large even when the rate is not very high, which means the photon or neutron background irradiation is very strong.
